I never realized how important a Child Theme could be in WordPress. Now I feel really confident to create a Child Theme for all my WP projects.
I think that even if it's a small change on a site, the Child Theme is always the right thing to do.
Great and simple course.

Everything I needed to know about child-themes. I work with Divi and therefore this course was perfect for me.

I was unable to get the style.css to connect properly just using her videos. I had to go through the extra resources and I felt that it could have been explained a little better that sometimes you will need extra php code in order to do what she did.

First I really appreciate Christine's teaching style. She is great at responding and updating courses. Here material is real and her solutions are simple and easy to grasp. I also like that she doesn't overdo the amount of material so it's easy to concentrate on and follow. I have now taken and finished 4 of her courses all of which has helped me learn what I thought would be difficult and look forward to new ones she brings out.

Very informative. The instructor has a very pleasing voice, which I find important. I take a lot of online CBT courses and some can become very monotonous and difficult to be attentive just in the tone of the instructors voice. If the course is not upbeat and lacks positive emotion it can be dull and difficult to complete. This course is relatively short but delivers well on its intent.

Thorough look into the creation of a child theme for free or premium WordPress themes along with good tips, tricks and tools to facilitate success in creating modifications for that just right look as well as adding professional design touches without the worry of losing them with continuous updates that are often needed for various reasons. Nicely done, Thank you!
